That's an understatement.

Linky no worky.

That salamander got what he / she deserved.

[Airscrew]

all I can say after that is ...wow...

[LePaul]

Part of me says he got what he deserved

And he announced on the radio he was "taking him out"

But part of me sees 3 officers blocking this guy in at the end.  Sitting on the hood, blasting away seems excessive to me.  The power of adrenalin??

I think it was either waste the guy or get run over and maimed or killed.

"taking him out" most likely referred to disabling the vehicle by ramming it.  He had several opportunities to do it early on, but officers usually have to recevie permission to do it.  


When they blocked him in he kept trying to run.  It was obvious his intent was to do anything necessary to get away.  If you start driving off with an officer on your car, expect to be shot.

Not saying he should have started driving off with an officer on the hood of the car but did the driver really need to die for that reason? Don't think so. If the jacka** of an officer is going to jump on the hood of a car then I would suspect then something very bad would happen to that officer not the other way around, crap like that is for the movies not real life. Deploy tire spikes, shoot the tires, but to jump on the hood of a car that has not stopped after being rammed, and after already taking shots at the car... Officer jack** was pumped and looking for a reason to fire off his little gun. It's over zealous officers like that that give ALL PD's a bad name. God help him

I think that anyone that runs from the cops, therefore putting the public in danger, should be pulled out of the car when the chase ends and summarily shot until dead.

Ok I can buy that.

But I noticed the shooting started even before the cop jumped on the hood.
Actually when they thought they had him and he turned around and ran again

Just curious why?

Not saying it wasn't a just shooting. Just wondering why he started shooting in the first place.


The initial claim by the cop of "he" just tried to ram me" in the beginning of the video was a bit bogus.
Well exaggerated anyway.
It was obvious that wasn't the intent but rather to just get away.
If he wanted to ram the cop he easily could have.

Now Later on its unclear if he did indeed try to ram the cops.
But it is clear he was trying to drive away with the cop on the hood.
which raises another question.
Why did the cop climb on the hood of the car?
Unless the car was coming at him and he was avoiding trying to be run down by climbing on top of the car.
Which would make sense.
Climbing on the hood of a car that contains a driver that might decide to take off is never the brightest move.
Had the driver decided to floor it backwards instead of forwards. The cop would have been in a world of hurt.

In the end I'm not quite sure what to make of the video.
Somehow I think there is more to it.
I don't think cops generally start shooting at a car just for trying to get away.
Thee are safer ways for everyone involved to go about it.

So I think there must be more to it.

BLUE ASH, Ohio --

A driver was killed and two officers were injured Tuesday after a police chase and shooting.

Daryl Black, a passenger, said all he wanted was a ride to the store. What he got instead was the wildest ride of his life.

Already, he's having nightmares, newsnet5.com partner WLWT-TV in Cincinnati reported.

"I thought I was a goner," Black said.

Black, 28, was riding with Charles Bennett, 37, when Blue Ash police tried to pull him over for erratic driving near Sycamore High School. Instead, Bennett made a run for it.

Wednesday night, Black watched the dashcam video from the Blue Ash cruisers that chased Bennett early Tuesday morning.

"What I am thinking here is, 'Get me out of this car … you're going to kill us," he said.


Black said he didn't know that the car was stolen. He said that he tried to grab the wheel, but couldn't.

Black said Bennett never said a word during the entire chase.

Eventually, after being hit by police cruisers at least twice, Bennett's car stopped and an officer jumped on the hood of the car, firing through the windshield.

"I thought I was a dead man, you know? I thought he was going to shoot me when he was up on that thing. I kept on saying 'No, no, no, don't shoot!" Black said.

Bennett died at Bethesda North Hospital, but Black was unharmed and police quickly determined he was an innocent bystander.

"Going through a chase and then watching an officer shoot several shots in a window, when you think the next bullet is for you, it's unreal," Black said.

The three officers who fired shots during the pursuit are on administrative leave.

I woudnt go that far.
Though perhaps it is true. We dont know as there is alot not in the video we cant see.

Maybe the driver pointed  or showed a gun
When the cop first starts shooting at the car we cant see the car. Only the cop shooting.

I seem to remember that in this state these types of high speed chases are not allowed anymore for the safety of everyone.

[RAIDER14]

excessive force

[DREDIOCK]

Untill we know what it was that caused the cops to first start shooting.
I've got to side with the cops or I should sayat least reserve judgement untill we know all the details.

To me something seems off.
It doesnt make a lot of sense to me for the cops to start shooting at a vehicle trying to flee without further cause.

  I've been pretty outspoken when I see cops doing what I feel is a clear wrong. Cops tazing a kid in the library lobby for refusing to leave. and another running a stop sign and killing to girls. Are two examples.

In each case I spoke out on what I felt  and still feel was clearly wrong.

In this case I only dont have enough information to even attempt any kind of judgement.

Too much that just doesnt make sense.
